The Reform oi gans are driven to desperate
straits. They have abandoned all issues bas-
ed on stale ISLANDERS, and now acknowledge
that no matter how numerous the good things
that may be said of the present State admi-
uisi rattan, the only charge that can be brought
against it is that hone but it's political friends
are in office.
Il is IA we'll known fact that in various par
ishes of the State the Governor has appninted

heartily and eloqnently seconded tue nomina-
tinn of Gen. Nicti0lls.
May we ask. did not Gen. Nichols. when he
was Governor, and Gen. Gibson, when he had
the Presidents ear, appoint TO office their own
respective personal aud political friends Z
And would not any political leader who is moi
an idiot follow the same course
What does the Holliugsworth manifesto to
Hon. b. +. Jonas mean if it Dies not proclaim
in So many words that the Nichols faction
propose, abnve all things, to have IA personal
government?
From the utterances of the acknowledged
leader of the Reform faction. and of that of
its local leaders here and there, we cannot but
conclude that the Refnrtners Intend To extend
personal government not only To it's proper
bounds-tlie offices within Executive aIG,nint-
inent-buta lso 10 carry il OFT TO the updem-
ocratic. aristOcratic extent of controlling even
